Hi,

Question:-

If I have already a number series with 2 digit first free numbers, what is the implication of changing this to 1 digit numbers in the “Maintain First Free number”?

Has anyone made a similar change before? Appreciate if u can share this. Thanks in advance.

Dear Zaid,

Do you mean you want to change first free number from 2 digits to 1 digit (like you said in your question) or you want to change the length of series from 2 digits to 1 digit?

DON'T go ahead changing the first free number from 2 digits to 1 digits like you say in your question (say, your first free number now is 88 and you want to change it to 1), because you can end up with 2 orders having exactly the same order number.
But if you want to change the length of series from 2 digits to 1 digits (ie usually you have 110001,120001, 210001, but now you want to have 100001,200001,300001) then go ahead, no problem it's just the numbering style.

Rgds,
Paul
